Leslie S. Klinger has authored annotations for the first 20 issues of The Sandman (1989). Each original story page (and cover) for each issue receives its own page in this volume, and are presented in black and white with a column of annotations to the side of the artwork.

The artwork is from the remastering done for the Absolute Sandman volumes a few years earlier. Despite this volume being in black and white, the artwork has the updated coloring credits from the Absolute edition.

Instead of making an entry for each of Dave McKean's cover artworks, he'll just be credited here at the start of the annotations where the first cover appears.
